Passaic council approves disabled‑parking ordinance, Market Street grant acceptance and routine consent items

The City of Passaic City Council on April 1 approved a second‑and‑final‑reading ordinance to manage restricted parking for disabled persons (Ordinance No. 24‑80‑25) and adopted several consent resolutions, including addenda to accept additional New Jersey Department of Transportation funds and to amend an engineering agreement for the Market Street Streetscape project.

Ordinance 24‑80‑25 — which the council opened for public hearing and then closed with no public comment — passed on a unanimous roll call.

The council accepted an addendum (27a) authorizing the acceptance of additional NJDOT funds for the final design phase (FD) of the Market Street Streetscape Improvements project and approved a related amended agreement with NVS for final engineering design services (27b). Both addenda were moved and approved by roll call.

Council members also approved minutes from prior meetings (Jan. 21 and Feb. 4), accepted grouped agenda items and resolutions (items 2–7; 8–14; 17–27 as presented), and approved payment of bills. Multiple roll calls recorded unanimous or near‑unanimous support; where a council member was absent for a vote that absence was noted.

Motions to close public hearings and accept consent items were routinely seconded and passed. No substantive amendments to the ordinance or the Market Street agreements were made during the April 1 meeting.

— Ending: The council scheduled follow-up administrative and finance reports; no further votes on the listed items were taken at the April 1 meeting.
